And the airplanes fly around

And the buzzing town

Above the tattered flags
Refers to flags that are worn and torn, floating in the gravity-free space.
And the rotten show posters
Describes show posters that have decayed but are still present in this environment.
Above the clubs and microphones
Above the music scene, clubs, and microphones.
Above the jealous mouths

That's where you found yourself
The location where the individual discovers themselves.
Riding into the sun

On a raft made for one
Symbolizes a personal journey on a solitary path.
Red painted radio

Towers sing you songs

Not, not that something's wrong

You've got I'm in your head
Indicates the presence of the self-awareness pronoun "I'm" in the mind.
But doesn't it get lonely

Riding up there to the sun

On a single raft for one
Reaffirms the solitude of the journey.
Don't you wish for someone

To pull you on a string

Down from atmospheres
Suggests descending from high altitudes to a more grounded level.
Down into a clearing
Descending into a clear and open space, perhaps a metaphor for clarity.
To kiss and box your ears?

That's where you found yourself
A repetition of the idea of finding oneself while journeying towards the sun.
Riding into the sun
A repetition of the metaphorical journey into self-discovery.
On a raft made for one
Reiterates the use of a single-person raft for the journey.
